ABREN

Welcome to the Asian Bioinformatics Research and Education Network (ABREN), a non-profit organization to promote collaborative research and education in bioinformatics. The organization was established in 2004 under a support from Kyushu Institute of Technology, Fukuoka Japan. We have held three online training workshops on bioinformatics (in 2006, 2007 and 2009) using the Internet to provide multimedia lectures, and the last workshop draw 1144 participants from 51 countries. ABREN received an NPO status from Japanese government in 2009. Because of increased interest in the distant education, we would like to put more effort on the online workshop. We also want to develop a virtual facility to provide useful information and to exchange idea in this rapidly expanding field of science. In order to take advantage of free participation to the workshop, please make registration. Previously, people had to make registration at every workshop through the workshop site. Now, you need to make registration only once through the ABREN site to participate in the future workshops. We transferred the accounts from the last workshop. So, if you participated in the last workshop, you can login using the same user account. ABREN runs on a volunteer basis. We would appreciate if you make donation for us to continue this operation.
